Sunday Papers
Welcome to all the musicians who have traveled here for our annual World Music Festival Chicago, and to all the fans who've come to watch them perform. The festival opened this past Friday and will run through September 23 at various locations around the city.
And so this is what you put on your Christmas cards when you mail them this year. The U.S. commemorative stamp for John Lennon was unveiled on Friday at a ceremony in New York attended by Yoko Ono. The stamp uses the cover of Lennon's Walls and Bridges LP.
Tickets are now on sale for Peter Asher and Jeremy Clyde at City Winery Chicago on November 6; Vanessa Davis Band at FitzGerald's on November 16; Little Steven and The Disciples Of Soul at Copernicus Center on November 5; Nick Lowe at SPACE on December 29 and 30, and Nick Lowe's New Year's Eve bash with Los Straitjackets at SPACE.
Michael Nesmith and The First National Band have a gig coming up next Thursday, September 13 at the Old Town School of Folk Music.
Congratulations to Imogene Bebb, who does a fine job managing the former Hollies lead vocalist Allan Clarke Appreciation Society Facebook page, on embarking on a music career of her own. A video of her performing a demo version of her original song "(H)ours" with bassist Jim Preece can be seen on YouTube.
That special version of Sunshine Boys' stellar debut Blue Music in a limited-edition (250) blue vinyl package is now available via Cheap Kiss Records.
Scott Ligon will host an All-Star Freakout next Wednesday, September 12, at FitzGerald's. Four days later, on Sunday, September 16, WXRT air personality Terri Hemmert, Phil Angotti, EXPO '76, Live To Sing Choir, and other guests will gather at Fitzgerald's to celebrate the life of Val's Halla record store owner Val Camilletti.
Paul McCartney's latest album, Egypt Station is now available, and some critics are calling it his best effort in years. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but "Come On To Me" was certainly a promising start.
Riot Fest returns to Douglas Park next Friday, September 14, and will run throughout the weekend. Chicago Innerview, a local publication that specializes in covering the city's mega music festivals, has released a Know Before The Show guide to Riot Fest. A dapper looking Elvis Costello is on the cover, and there are 30 pages profiles on Beck; Blondie; Cypress Hill; Twin Peaks; Liz Phair; Cat Power; The Exploited and other participating acts. You can pick up a free copy at Reckless Records stores.
Minstrel Palooza Live returns to Durty Nellie's in Palatine on September 22 for another gathering of musicians related in various way to the Minstrels Music Store in Niles. Scheduled acts include Gus Adonis; Kevin Lee and The Kings, Cracked Actor; Van Go; Todd Money Experience; Larry Mitchell and Dave Ulrich; Charlie Victor; and Tiger Bite. Admission is free, and the show starts at 1:00 p.m.
We're just about a month away from Jodie Whittaker's debut as the title character in the long-running British sci-fi series Doctor Who. She'll be the first actress to take on the traditionally male role of a time lord capable of creating an entirely new appearance and personality via regeneration. Whittaker previously starred in the British series Broadchurch with David Tennant following his stint as The Doctor, so it seems likely the two of them occasionally discussed his time on Doctor Who. At any rate, best wishes to Whittaker on her new adventures through time and space.
I finally watched Twice Upon A Time, Peter Capaldi's farewell episode of Doctor Who via a DVD from the Palatine library, and now intend to buy my own copy. It initially took a while for me to warm up to his version of The Doctor (particularly following Tennant and Matt Smith) but he fully embodied the character by the end of his tenure. On Twice Upon A Time, he's funny, compassionate, clever, and very wise. Actress Pearl Mackie does a stellar job of helping with Capaldi's sendoff, and it was nice to see the show give her character an imaginative and heartfelt exit.
Pearl Mackie will be one of the guests at Chicago TARDIS when it comes to the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center on the weekend of November 23 – 25.
In other convention news, ACE Comic Con Midwest comes to Navy Pier in Chicago on the weekend of October 12 – 14. Scheduled guests include Chris Evans, Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Lee Pace and Zazie Beetz. There will also be over 60 comic writers, artists, and creators, as well as several vendors.

EXIOBASE is a global, detailed Multi-Regional Environmentally Extended Supply-Use Table (MR-SUT) and Input-Output Table (MR-IOT). It was developed by harmonizing and detailing supply-use tables for a large number of countries, estimating emissions and resource extractions by industry. Subsequently the country supply-use tables were linked via trade creating an MR-SUT and producing a MR-IOTs from this. The MR-IOT that can be used for the analysis of the environmental impacts associated with the final consumption of product groups.
Now available: EXIOBASE2
The EXIOBASE2 (base year 2007) is one of the most extensive EE-MRIO systems available worldwide. This holds also true for the water part (W-MRIO). A large number of products are covered and an especially high level of spatial detail is provided with regard to agricultural water consumption. Further detailed information on thermal freshwater emissions were incorporated in the database as well as data on emissions to freshwater of the most relevant nutrients. In this case study we carried out an extensive analysis of Europe's direct and indirect demand for water and the impacts created within and outside its borders. As such, the EXIOBASE2 is at the very forefront of W-MRIO development and application.

We are proud to present this booklet, the result of years of hard work. This is the first time, to our knowledge, that the total global environmental footprint – encompassing the carbon, water, land and material consumption footprint of various countries – has been compiled using one detailed, consistent and comprehensive global economic-environmental database.

Wetland birds die in botulism outbreak
A botulism outbreak at an internationally significant wetland just south of Auckland has killed hundreds of game and migratory birds including some endangered species.
The outbreak of the deadly disease at Miranda on the shores of the Firth of Thames has prompted a major cleanup operation to remove dead birds involving Fish & Game, DOC and the Miranda Shorebird Centre.
Avian botulism can paralyse and kill birds and outbreaks are often sparked by warm temperatures and water with low oxygen content. Miranda is recognised by the international Ramsar Convention as a significant global wetland worthy of protection and conservation. It is home to thousands of waterfowl and shorebirds, many of which are rare or endangered. It is also a stop off point for migrating godwits.
David Klee, Fish & Game's southern game bird manager for the Auckland/Waikato region, says the situation is grim, with the botulism taking a toll on a wide range of species.
"Some of the species we are finding dead are endangered and they have died slow and agonising deaths. All we can do is pick up and dispose of the dead birds but the extent of the outbreak is upsetting for our staff and volunteers and staff from the Miranda Trust," says Mr Klee.
"The Firth of Thames is prime habitat for waterfowl, shore and sea birds and should be regarded as a treasure, something people can visit and enjoy. Botulism is symptomatic of severely degraded environments and sadly, the area is becoming increasingly polluted and it is time government and local authorities took a tough stand.
"Polluters responsible for this situation are not going to do anything for the good of the environment and the public unless they are forced to. Some industries are using the surrounding rivers that enter the Firth as a dumping ground and seem to believe that it is their right to continue to discharge increasing volumes of contaminants," Mr Klee says.
"If the Firth collapses, it won't just be the bird life that will suffer - there is the potential for the multi million dollar aquaculture industry and huge recreational fishery to also be adversely affected."
The latest botulism outbreak is not the first indication of the Firth of Thames' deteriorating condition.
In 2014, NIWA research scientist Dr John Zeldis warned that water pollution from decades of farming may mean the Firth and the wider Hauraki Gulf is reaching a "tipping point" which threatens marine life. Dr Zeldis' research showed that water in the Firth became low in oxygen in late summer and autumn and had become increasingly acidic because of a build-up of nutrients from rivers contaminated by run-off from Hauraki Plains farms.
David Klee fears that unless there is a major effort to clean up pollution, the Firth can only deteriorate further.
"The Firth of Thames is getting worse. There needs to be urgent action to start cleaning it up otherwise there will be more botulism outbreaks and they will get worse, putting the status of the Miranda foreshore at risk of being an internationally valued Ramsar wetland," he says.

Batman: Arkham Asylum on the PC exposes players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that takes them to the depths of Arkham Asylum - Gotham's psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Gamers will move in the shadows, instigate fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains who have taken over the asylum. Using a wide range of Batman's gadgets and abilities, players will become the invisible predator and attempt to foil The Joker's demented scheme. Batman: Arkham Asylum features an original story penned exclusively for the game by famous Batman author and five-time Emmy award winner, Paul Dini, whose credits include Lost season one and Batman: The Animated Series.
PC Games
The Story mode finds Batman overseeing the transfer of the Joker to Arkham Asylum. This is apparently all to the Joker's plan, as Batman receives an invitation to a party there. Sure, it's a trap, but it's Batman, so of course you waltz right in.
The action starts early, giving you a chance to try out the controls on a couple of the Joker's goons right off the bat. All it takes is the two mouse buttons, and you get to pull out an enormous number of martial arts moves that are as beautiful to watch as they are devastating to henchmen. There is also opportunities to counterattack, which are indicated by lightning bolts over an enemy's head as they are about to strike. These martial arts work well in the early parts of the game when the goons are unarmed, but later you'll face enemies armed with knives, cattle prods, and guns.
Fortunately, these moves all get upgraded, along with your arsenal of gadgets and equipment as you go through the single-player game. As the fights get harder, your skills keep up, forcing you to learn to use the new techniques and skills as you go through the game. These abilities will be essential when you get to boss fights, which are a refreshing change from combat through the rest of the game.
Combat is not all that Batman will have to overcome as you'll guide him through the halls of Arkham. There are a ton of puzzles around, only some of which are required to continue along in the story. There are also hundreds of question marks spread throughout the game, riddles put there by the Riddler that will give you opportunities to unlock portions of the backstory, acquire bonus items, and gain additional experience.
Overcoming the many riddles and puzzles that are found in the game is helped along by the inclusion of a Detective mode. This alternative viewing lets batman see many things that are otherwise invisible, such as places that can be destroyed with explosives, or enemies, even through walls. The addition of this mode makes a single play-through of an area unlikely, and is a feature that makes strategizing the best way to handle set-piece areas even easier and more fun.
Once you've unlocked them, there is even more fun to be had with the eight challenge maps. These revisit areas from the Story mode, and provide a mixture of combat and stealth-based play. These maps all have the capability to report your high score to an online leader board. In order to gain a decent score on there, though, you'll have to earn medals, which are acquired by taking enemies down in specific ways. These can be exceedingly difficult, at times, requiring you to play a challenge over and over again to get it done, but the feeling of accomplishment is usually sufficient for the amount of time it took.
All in all, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a treat for Batman and action fans alike. It's good to see the Dark Knight fly once more.

202026th JulyAn alternative marriage for Elizabeth Whiting (born c.1776) to John Loveday in 1798 at Little Wratting church has been flagged up by John Orchard, rather than the marriage to John Smith in 1802 as previously thought. There is some indication that DNA evidence might back this up.12th JuneUpdate to David Whiting c.1793-1876.

I am sick to death of seeing and hearing people who claim to be representing Christ on the telly talking about prosperity, wealth, blah blah blah. This is one of the reasons that we -- people who legitimately try to follow the teachings of Christ and adhere to that whole philosophy of loving one another...by which I mean everyone -- get such a bad wrap because we're lumped in with people who take passages of the Bible, twist them, and claim God will give you prosperity in your life if you just follow X Formula, buy X vitamins (I mean, WHAT THE CRAP?!?), or send in $49.95 for their series on how to pray, or somesuch nonsense.
I have no doubt that some of these people may have started off purely, but the dollars have corrupted them.
NO ONE should be allowed to Spam Christ.
I'm in a bit of a foul mood. In case you couldn't tell. I'm wavering from crying (again, like I started to this morning), getting REALLY angry, and just giving up -- throwing my arms up in the air in complete and utter despair and surrender (but not the GOOD kinda surrender).
This stems back somewhat to the discussion I had yesterday, which can be summed up in the following two sentences (mind you, these came from a colleague of mine, someone whose opinion I respect and take at face value):
- The restructuring and revising of departmental training that I have been working a YEAR on to make certain that the staff are given the opportunity to learn valuable and useful skills and not just attend a seminar on why so-and-so's department or program is cool and/or attend a training program that is evaluated on how much they liked the topic? Scrap it. Completely and utterly scrap everything, and go back to the way it was. ...not because it was a bad restructuring, and not because they NEED this style of training (as was confirmed), but because it doesn't give face time to people who think they and ONLY they can train the staff. Because -- and I quote -- the revisions didn't make them happy.
- I was also told that the reason I am the lowest paid person in my classified position -- despite having more than five years of full-time work experience more than the other individuals in my classified position -- is (again, quoting) that people don't consider my position important. Oh, they like me, but my position's just not important, so they pay -- for example -- a guy who has a Bachelor's degree in Geology and only two (2) years of experience of working in Student Affairs $6k more a year than I get (with a Master's degree and now 10 years of full-time experience) because his position is thought of as more important. Thought of. NOT classified as or can be backed up with a statistical analysis from our comparative institutions. Thought of.
I need a new life. I wonder what's available on eBay...?

Philadelphia Flyers
"What? These guys play hockey? That's what they used those giant sticks for?"
"Me rape you now."
"Me... also rape you now."
"The Broad Street Bullies, Bullying their way out of a Stanley Cup Victory since 1975."
"The Solar System It's So Humongous Big!"
"I like them."
The Philadelphia Flyers, also known as the Philadelphia Cheesepuffs, are a street fighting organization based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, unlike most street fighters, they wear skates and claim to be a hockey team. They also really enjoy raping other players. Ask Alexander Ovechkin.
Vague History[edit]
The team was created in 1967 along with the Pittsburgh Penguins and a couple other teams that no one gives a crap about. The Flyers, or Nazis, immedeatly started a rivalry with the Penguins. The Flyers won 2 Stanley Cups in 1974, and 1975 by paying the referees $20 million (how they got the money is still unknown), and then hiring a bunch of street fighters to beat up the other teams. Their captain, Bobby Clarke, raped everything in sight (he could essentially be said as the Kobe Bryant of 35 years ago, except with a lot smaller dick). In the middle of the ice, while in a battle for a loose puck, he buttraped Darryl Sittler, Bryan Trottier, Gilbert Perrault, Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, and Guy Lafleur. Lafleur, however, enjoyed it, (because he's French) and they became gay lovers.
The team also had Eric Lindros as the star in the 1990s. He was taken in 1992 after being held by the Quebec Nordiques concentration camp for a year. The Flyers heard his cry and sent out their best rapists to save him, now known as the War of the Rapists. It was a success, but in the process, General Peter Forsberg, Colonel Ron Hextall, Major Mike Ricci, Captain Kerry Huffman, Lieutenant Steve Duchesne, Sergeant Chris Simon, and Privates Jocelyn Thibault and Nolan Baumgartner, were raped harder by the Nordiques, until they moved to Colorado in 1995 and became the "Fagalanche." They lost $15 million, as well. His raping powers were unmatched for the next few years, even up until 1998, when they made it to the final in 1997 (but choked to the Detroit Red Rings.) By the next year however, his raping powers soon diminished due to him being injured A LOT, so they traded him to the Rangers. Lindros' winger, John LeClair, was the "next Bobby Clarke" in the fact that he attempted to mug, flog, then rape everything in sight. However, he was a pussy so he wasn't very good at it. According to Devils defenceman Scott Stevens, LeClair has given Stevens six marriage proposals, all of which Stevens refused. LeClair, however, says that the two are a happy gay couple living in Newark, NJ. Stevens, however, says that he bought his house and LeClair continued to bother him by moving in next to him
The Flyers other rivalry is with the New York Rangers, who are a bank that attempts to play hockey. As a result, most of thier players are either old, dickeads, or Jaromir Jagr, and are always overpaid, and they always suck ass.
The Flyers are apparenty one of the more SUCK-sessful teams, as they never win the Stanley Cup anymore. Also, every year, the Penguins, who are supported by Gary Bettman, because he can apparently rig every NHL game, and the referees because Sidney Crosby is on the team, and the New Jersey Devils, using their Satanist powers, finish ahead of the Flyers every year in the Atlantis Division.
The Flyers Today[edit]
Shockingly, the Flyers signed Daniel Briere, the wimpiest player in the NHL. However, he turned out to be just a cover for enforcers such as Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Chris Pronger, Napoleon and Adolf Hitler. The Flyers still go around raping people, especially Flyers defencemen Kimmo Timonen and Chris Pronger, who's victims so far have been Patrick Kane, Ryan Smyth, Marian Gaborik, Bill Guerin, Evegeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Phil Kessel, Vinny Lecavalier, Francois Beauchemain, Saku Koivu, J.S. Giguere, Dion Phaneuf, Roberto Luongo, pretty much the entire Leafs team, New York Islanders, Brendan Morrow, Patrice Bergeron, Martin Brodeur, Sean Avery, every referee, Owen Nolan, Dany Heatley, Mats Sundin, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi, Joe Thornton, pretty much every player who's every played for the Leafs, Scott Gomez, Brian Gionta, Evgeni Nabokov, Mikko Koivu, Daniel Alfredsson, Jonathan Cheechoo, Chris Drury, Jason Spezza (many times), Jaromir Jagr, two little kids, and Whoopi Goldberg. But surprisingly never beat any of these teams in the process. The Flyers ended up getting thier asses kicked in every game not played against the Islanders. However, their major mistake was when Timonen tried to rape Jarome Iginla at center ice. Iginla, however, used his extremely large dick to strangle Timonen to death, and then Stephenie Meyer had necrophilia with Timonen. Afterwards, Iginla turned to Pronger and said "You're Next!" And then Briere got his cock stuck in a goalie helmet.
She is shown on the Jumbo Screen as she sings "God Bless America". Everyone gets really excited when she sings "God Bless America" .
Are They Really Nazis?[edit]
Over the years, there has been much question as to wheather the Flyers, along with the Detroit Red Wings, Ottawa Senators, and Dallas Stars, are really Nazis, or are just douche bags like the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Islanders and Washington Capitals. It would make sense, since their arch-rivals, the Penguins, are a team filled with Canadians (Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury) and Europeans (Gonchar, Evegeni Malkin), and Nazis are rivals of both. However, other than Hitler briefly playing for the team, they have no real connection with Nazis, and the situation is one of much controversy among the 117 remaining hockey fans.
Philadelphia Cheesepuffs[edit]
Since the 2010 Leastern Conference finals against the French Weakling Idiots who can't score, the Philadelphia Flyers became known as the Philadelphia Cheesepuffs among fans of both the French Weakling Idiots who can't score and the Chicago Blackhawks due to their tendency to wear orange clothing when they actually play hockey, as well as their dirty hockey style. To this day, Habs fan refrain from eating cheesepuffs when the Habs play the Philadelphia Cheesepuffs.
Goaltending and the Cheesepuffs[edit]
After Bernie Parent, the Cheesepuffs never had much success in drafting or trading for goalies, having had one half-decent goaltender since they last won the Stanley Cup. Much so that they had spurts of glory in the net but the Flyers steer clear of expensive goaltenders so much that they'd rather want a pair of $1-a-dozen goalies in the Flyers' roster than actually get a half-decent goalie, even turning down a trade that could have sent Jaroslav Halak to Philadelphia for a second-rounder.
Thus they waited a full season before trading for Ilya Bryzgalov, Master of the Universe!
Czech this out: Jagr[edit]
Jaromir Jagr, a rebel Penguin from the other side of Pennsylvania, was signed for the 2011-2012 NHL season. His decision to sign with the Flyers was based on the fact that Sidney Crosby already exists. Jaromir's dream is to become "the next one", after Crosby. He accomplished this because he turned 40 in Feburary 2012.

EVERETT — Kimberly-Clark Corp. wants city planners to waive requirements to cover the site of its demolished waterfront mill with topsoil and grass.
Those final steps are spelled out in Everett's demolition permit.
The company, however, contends the land is best left blanketed under pulverized concrete — until somebody builds something new there.
City staff has yet to reach a decision on a waiver.
A June 10 letter from a Kimberly-Clark consultant states that forgoing the post-demolition work will provide better water runoff, easier access for heavy equipment and more curb appeal for potential buyers. Left unsaid in the letter is the fact it would also cost Kimberly-Clark a lot less money.
City Council president Jeff Moore said it's up to city staff to weigh the merits and recommend which course to take.
"If there's something that creates a win-win that doesn't harm our environment or our community, we should certainly look at it," Moore said. "But we shouldn't compromise the intent of our land action pertaining to the central waterfront district."
The mill, which operated for roughly 80 years, shut down for good in April 2012. About 700 people lost jobs. It had been the last mill still operating on a waterfront that was once defined by them.
In an attempt to replace some of the lost jobs, a City Council majority voted in January to re-zone that part of the shoreline for marine industry. At the same time, they left flexibility for office parks, open space and other types of development farther from the water.
A demolition contractor finished work last month, leaving the 66-acre former mill site largely flat.
The next big step is cleaning up the land, which could take three years or more.
Kimberly-Clark on Friday announced plans to get a head start on removing toxic soil. The work is to focus largely on petroleum contamination, some dating from the 1930s. Clearcreek Contractors of Everett has been hired for the initial work, which could begin as early as this week.
"That's a really smart move on their part and we're really glad about that," said Barry Rogowski, a section manager with the state Department of Ecology. "We're hoping that gets a lot of the worst contamination that we know of out of the site."
Kimberly-Clark and state ecology officials expect to spend the next year or so reaching agreement about how the cleanup should be handled. The public will have a chance to comment before any deal gets finalized.
Public scrutiny of the site's environmental problems increased this spring.
While demolition work was ongoing, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency issued a warning notice about excessive dust. The agency has received no new complaints after the demolition contractor started spraying more water to control the dust.
City leaders also drew attention to new sampling data from demolition debris — including the crushed concrete ground cover — showing higher-than-expected levels of arsenic and other heavy metals.
Dallas-based Kimberly-Clark maintains that the site is safe for industrial development, but Moore and other City Council members want assurances it will be cleaned to higher standards, allowing all types of potential development.
Councilwoman Brenda Stonecipher, an outspoken critic of zoning the area for heavy industry, said it looks as though Kimberly-Clark is trying to sidestep cleanup responsibilities while shutting out all future uses except industry. That, she said, goes against city leaders' wishes to keep open other development possibilities.
"This latest salvo from K-C makes it clear that they intend to circumvent that option in any way they can," she wrote in an email. "I hope that our city administration and council do not allow them to get away with it."
Stonecipher offered a point-by-point challenge for Kimberly-Clark's justifications. She labeled the anti-erosion argument as "specious" and said not covering the area could lead to more dust which is known to contain industrial pollutants.
Kimberly-Clark has marketed its waterfront real estate as a single property and reports several inquiries.
Interest in the property is "almost universally" coming from industrial users, company spokesman Bob Brand said.
The June 10 letter makes the case that the site's current gravelly aesthetic makes it more marketable.
"The visual message of a crushed concrete surface reaffirms to potential buyers and the local community that the property is zoned for 'industrial use' and is not destined to become a park or remain open space," the letter says.
Though the company cannot disclose who the potential buyers are, the Port of Everett has confirmed it's looking at the real estate for possible expansion. Due diligence studies of the land's environmental problems and suitability for port operations are likely to continue for at least another month, a port spokeswoman said.

If you take a sample of people and ask them what they think it means to run a successful business, the majority of the answers will be different. What one person defines as successful may just be a small step up the ladder for someone else.
Much of your definition will come down to what you actually want to achieve from your business. No matter what you want to achieve, however, there are a number of things that, if you run a successful business, you're going to have to aim for.
The business will have to be able to cover the costs of buying or creating any products you sell. You'll have to be able to pay the wages of any employees you have working for your business; that includes any work you do yourself. You'll also need to make sure you have enough money coming in to pay any taxes that the business will have to pay.
All of those things will apply whether you're the only person in the business, or you have a worldwide company with thousands of employees. But, that's where the similarities between businesses end, and ambition takes over to determine if you run a successful business.
Do you want to make a comfortable living? Do you want to be able to leave the running of the business to someone else? Do you want to be a tycoon and have an empire that you can watch over? Or, is having just enough money to pay all of your monthly bills your definition of what qualifies for you as having run a successful business?
These are the sort of things you really need to work out for yourself before you go into business; each will require a different sort of business plan, and it helps to know what your end goal is.
If your aim in life is to have more time with the family, and that's why you're setting up a business, then you're going to want to have a business that will run as smoothly as possible while you're not there. This could mean getting someone else in to run it for you, or it could mean setting up something online that will run as automatically as possible.
Whichever of the two options you choose your definition of having run a successful business will be when you can spend that time with the family, and still have money coming in all of the time to pay for things.
If you want to be the next corporate millionaire and have offices all over the world, you're going to have to go about things a little differently to the person wanting to spend more time with their family. You may still choose to spend more time with them, obviously, but the chances are that for the first few years at least, you're going to be spending a lot of time making contacts, employing people, studying trends, etc, etc.
Here you're going to have a different definition of what it means to run a successful business. Will it be when you've made your first million? When you have offices in America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific? Or will it be when you're a global brand?
Although both types of business model take work and planning, the results are essentially the same; you have something that you specifically want to achieve at the end of it.
The ultimate aim of most people, no matter whether they go for the global domination or the increased family time, is to be happy with what they're doing. If you can achieve what you set out to do, and be happy with the process and results, then the chances are you've run a successful business.

There are two variables that may be used to identify a person's marital status in the 1996 Census Registered Marital Status (MSTP) and Social Marital Status (MDCP).
Social Marital Status (MDCP) reports responses to the question 'What is the person's relationship to Person 1/Person 2?'.
The output categories are:
In the Social Marital Status classification a response of husband/wife to the relationship question results in a person being classified as 'Married in a registered marriage' regardless of that person's response to the question about present marital status.
Married De Facto: a de facto marriage exists when the relationship between two people of the opposite sex or same sex, who live together in the same household is reported as: de facto, partner, common law husband/wife/spouse, lover, boyfriend, girlfriend.
Married Registered: in the 1996 Census a registered marriage may be reported in both the Registered Marital Status (MSTP) variable ('married') and the Social Marital Status (MDCP) variable ('married in a registered marriage').
The counts of people in registered marriages differ depending on which variable is being used. For a detailed discussion of this variation see Married Registered.
Not Married: the term not married, as used in the Social Marital Status (MDCP) classification, refers to a person who is not living with another person in either a registered marriage of a de facto marriage. This includes persons who live alone, with other family members, and those in shared accommodation.
See Married Registered, Registered Marital Status (MSTP), Social Marital Status (MDCP).
Married De Facto
'Married in a de facto marriage' is a category of the Social Marital Status (MDCP) classification. A de facto marriage exists when the relationship between two people of the opposite sex or same sex, who live together in the same household is reported as: de facto, partner, common law husband/wife/spouse, lover, boyfriend, girlfriend.
In the 1996 Census a registered marriage may be reported in both Registered Marital Status (MSTP) and Social Marital Status (MDCP). Registered Marital Status (MSTP) is coded from Question 6 'What is the person's present marital status?' Social Marital Status (MDCP) is derived from the relationship question (Question 5).
See also Marital Status, Married De Facto.
See Table.
See Median income.
Median income is the mid point of the distribution of income.
This variable records up to three methods, or means, of travel to work for each person aged 15 years and over who was employed during the week before the Census. The data are used in Journey to Work (JTW) study area analysis, and transport planning.

Some of the entries in this dictionary describe variables on the census unit record file. Each variable has a four character mnemonic, e.g. HIND for Household Income. These mnemonics are a convenient shorthand method of describing census variables and would generally be used by clients when specifying customised tables.
See Housing Loan Repayment (HLRD).
See Parent.
For the 1996 Census, up to three families can be coded in one household: the primary family (usually the first listed on the census form, or the one with dependent children); and up to two others, called collectively other families, and individually second and third families.

Stockbridge Main Street Advisory Advisory Board
In early 2013, the City of Stockbridge petitioned the Georgia Department of Community Affairs Office of Downtown Development for authorization to establish a local Main Street Program. In February 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding was approved to initiate this process through the State of Georgia's Main Street Start-up Program.
Once established, the Stockbridge Main Street Program will be one of the 90+ Main Street Programs across the State of Georgia and part of a national network of over 1,800 active Main Street entities. This community-driven initiative focuses on conscientious revitalization of older, traditional business districts throughout the United States. The underlying premise of the Main Street concept is to encourage economic development, within the context of historic preservation, in ways that are appropriate for today's marketplace. Main Street programs advocate a return to community self-reliance, local empowerment, and the rebuilding of traditional commercial districts based on their unique assets—distinctive architecture, a pedestrian-friendly environment, personal service, local ownership, and a sense of community.
One essential component for establishing a Main Street Program is the appointment of an Advisory Board. The City of Stockbridge is currently assembling a group of decisive, action-oriented people to serve in this capacity. The Main Street Advisory Board will meet once per month on an annual basis, unless otherwise stipulated. Main Street Committees will meet on an as needed basis.
The qualifications required for appointment to the Stockbridge Main Street Advisory Board shall be as follows:
1. A citizen of this state and the United States;
2. At least eighteen (18) years of age;
3. Have a high school education or the equivalent;
4. Has a genuine interest in implementing policy to create a positive change in the Stockbridge Main Street District;
5. Has a genuine interest in the successful commercial revitalization in the Stockbridge Main Street District;
6. Has a genuine interest in historic preservation;
7. Willing to serve a minimum one (1) to two (2) year term of service;
8. Willing to attend a minimum of eight (8) hours of approved training;
9. Willing to attend regularly scheduled, monthly Board and committee meetings during his/her term of service;
10. Willing to volunteer a minimum of (4) hours of time to Stockbridge Main Street programming per calendar year during their term of service (does not include Board meetings and required trainings); and
11. Has NOT been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude

2 Men Awarded $750,000 for Wrongful Convictions in 1983 Murder
From The New York Times
DURHAM, N.C. — One year to the day after a North Carolina judge threw out their wrongful murder convictions, a state commission awarded $750,000 each as compensation to two half-brothers who spent three decades in prison, much of it on death row.
Patrick M. Megaro, the recently hired lawyer for the men, Henry Lee McCollum, 51, and Leon Brown, 47, announced the settlement. Mr. Megaro also filed a federal lawsuit against government and law enforcement officials of Robeson County, N.C., for obtaining their convictions through "fraud, perjury, coercion, the willful failure or refusal to investigate exculpatory evidence."
A pardon by Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina in June made each man eligible for $50,000 a year in compensation from the state, up to $750,000 each. (Without a cap, the compensation for their full 31 years in prison would be more than double that amount.) The maximum was granted to each man on Wednesday by the North Carolina Industrial Commission, which oversees workers' compensation and tort claims. (more…)

Mods should not have to come here every day and move 30 threads into their proper catagories, merge several more because the same question has been asked 3 times in 3 new threads and close old threads from new responders.
Pay attention please.

The price of iron ore has jumped to a fresh 15-month high on the back of a buying spree from Chinese steel mills, but analysts are divided over how long the surge will last.
The benchmark price for the bulk commodity is trading at $US158.50, helping keep the Australian dollar strong at about $US1.05 in morning trade.
The recent surge underlines the volatility the world's largest consumer of iron ore imparts on the commodity's price. Iron ore slumped at an alarming rate to $US86.70 a tonne just last September as Chinese steel producers pared back their inventories as an industry-wide crisis threatened to take hold.
Now anticipating steadier economic conditions in China, the same steel mills are aggressively restocking, pushing the iron ore price more than 80 per cent higher in barely four months.
But Credit Suisse analysts are tipping the iron ore price spike to be merely ''one last hoorah'', with the initial buoyancy at the start of this year to give way to a ''gradual price fade'' toward $US90 a tonne by 2015.
It says commodity prices were likely to remain strong for the next few months, but to begin to retreat by the second half of this year. The prediction is consistent with a huge expansion of iron ore supply expected to come online in the next two years.
''For this commodity, the long boom is fading,'' the investment bank said in a research note.
''However, a steady improvement in Chinese demand – and faint stability elsewhere – have created the conditions for one last run up in iron ore prices before new supply causes them to ebbed back towards our long-run mean.''
Credit Suisse's projection is not far off the lows of $US86.70 a tonne seen last September, which pushed higher-cost producers, including Fortescue, dangerously close to the brink.
''The plunge in prices in [the third quarter last year] was short-lived but we still believe it signals a turning point for iron ore, with little prospect of a return to previous cycle peaks,'' Credit Suisse said.
The bank predicts higher-cost producers, particularly Chinese private miners, will be forced to close and for China's domestic supply to be cut in half by 2015.
A series of worrying economic data for China last year looked to have taken a positive turn by the year's end, but economists will be keeping a close watch on a slew of fresh data due for release next week. Statistics from the China Iron and Steel Association showed that major Chinese steel firms returned to profits in November for the first time in four months.
But Chinese steel analyst Xu Guangjian said the local industry was still struggling. Few mills have shut because the sector is state-owned and subsidised, though smaller players in the industry are being consolidated into larger steel producers.
"Most steel companies are just breaking even," Mr Xu said.
"The price of iron ore continues to be high and there is no strong demand originating from downstream industries such as the property, electric home appliance and automobile industries."

New York City Cultural Event Will Explore Freedom's Meaning
This month's New York Encounter examines an idea that is both cherished and deeply divisive in American culture.
NEW YORK — An organizer for the New York Encounter, a three-day cultural festival held in January, says this year's theme of "Experiencing Freedom" is an idea both cherished and deeply divisive in American culture.
"What is it that defines this mysterious thing which we call freedom, which for us as believers is the ultimate reflection of the experience of God himself that's been given to us as creatures?" reflected Maurizio Maniscalco, the event's chairman.
"Freedom is the territory where not even God intervenes in our life," which makes its experience a "pretty compelling thing," he told Catholic News Agency in a Jan. 9 interview.
The New York Encounter will be held Jan. 18-20 in Midtown Manhattan and is the third annual installment of the event. It is free and requires no registration.
The encounter is organized by the Catholic ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation and by Crossroads Cultural Center. The center aims to explore the relationship between religion and culture and was founded by members of the Communion and Liberation movement.
This year's encounter will feature reflections from an array of speakers, as well as musical and artistic performances and exhibits on author G.K. Chesterton and the Cristero martyrs of Mexico. Mass will be said Jan. 20 by Cardinal Egan, archbishop emeritus of New York.
Among the speakers is Paul Bhatti, who is Pakistan's minister of National Harmony and Minority Affairs. He will talk about the life of his brother Shahbaz, who was martyred in 2011 for his support of Pakistani Christians and his opposition to the country's blasphemy laws, which are primarily used to persecute non-Muslims.
Open to Everyone
Maniscalco said the organizers desire to share their experience of God with those who attend the encounter and that it is for Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
"Our ultimate desire is that what happened to us may happen to others. And since it happened to us through human encounters, our hope is that through the human encounter that the New York Encounter is somebody could discover that God is not just an unknown mystery, but is a life; that the Church is not an obsolete organization, but is a life."
"And for those who already believe, we desire that, God willing, they may return home with more hope, more faith, more charity, more passion, more love for what they are called to do, what they are called to live."
He said that freedom is experienced not as an achievement, but as a belonging in community.
"We know that the truth will make us free. And the truth has become man, dwelling among us. That is our certainty."
"And we hope that by spending some time there, listening to witnesses, maybe even seeing the 200 volunteers we have who make this happen, one begins to perceive, to see a glimpse of this possible fulfillment, which is fruit of a belonging."
New York Encounter is "as Catholic an event as it can be," Maniscalco said, "in a true sense."
"Those who make it happen do it with the one and only desire to bring their humble testimony in the public square, in the heart of New York City."
He said the encounter is in the spirit of St. Paul's admonition to test all things and "hold fast to what which is good."
"We invite people; we present things. ... We try to embrace them and retain what is good."
While being a "Catholic" event, the New York Encounter is not one in which "we sit there to pray the Rosary," Maniscalco reflected.
"God willing, we do that, but, during the encounter, it's a sign, an event of openness." The New York Encounter is the fruit of a "desire to bring our testimony in the heart of the world," said Maniscalco.
New York Encounter "aims to discover, affirm and offer to everyone truly human expressions of the desire for truth, beauty and justice," its website says. It is "a meeting point for people of different beliefs, traditions and cultures striving for reciprocal understanding, mutual building and true friendship."
The organizers of the event are all members of Communion and Liberation, which was founded in 1954 by Msgr. Luigi Giussani. Maniscalco said the movement's gift to the Church is "a friendship in the name of Christ" and that the New York Encounter "is a little example" of this friendship.
Communal Event
Andrew Whaley will be attending the New York Encounter and is traveling from Colorado to do so.
"I'm fairly new to Communion and Liberation, but am really intrigued so far, both by the thought of Father Luigi Giussani, but also by the way it is lived out so immediately in community," he told CNA Jan. 10.
"He was always saying 'Christ is an event that is happening to me now.' I find it a challenge to do that from moment to moment — to experience my life and my self as a question, in the moment, whose answer is Christ," Whaley added.
"I am looking forward to being surrounded by an entire community attempting to live that for a few days."

Head-on collision near Pine Creek kills woman
A HEAD-on collision on Friday night near Pine Creek claimed the life of a woman and left four people hospitalised, including a 13-year-old boy with life threatening injuries.
Preliminary information indicates that a utility and car collided around 9.30pm on the Bundaberg-Childers Road (Isis Highway), 22km south-west from Bundaberg.
A 38-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car died at the scene.
The 39-year-old male driver, a 15-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy were injured and transported to Bundaberg Base Hospital for treatment.
A baby girl was not injured. All five are from Miles.
It is believed the boy will be flown to Brisbane with critical head injuries and the teenage girl remains in Bundaberg Base Hospital with serious internal injuries.
A 44-year-old man from the Miriam Vale area, the driver and sole occupant of the utility, sustained serious injuries and was also transported to hospital.
The highway was re-opened at 1.15am Saturday, and investigations by the Forensic Crash Unit continue.
Anyone with information which could assist with this matter should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au 24hrs a day.

Talde Orders
You may know Dale Talde as the lovable two-time cheftestant who didn't quite make it to the finish line on Bravo's Top Chef. But the ambitious Asian-fusion connoisseur is now making a local name for himself in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where he presides over Talde—a nearly year-old restaurant that's serving up pretzel, pork, and chive dumplings for the Seventh Avenue set—and, as of August, Pork Slope. The offbeat bar is inspired by Patrick Swayze's 1989 action film, Road House, offering St. Louis–style ribs and house-smoked meats to go with a bevy of American whiskies. Herewith, a collection of Talde's latest culinary pursuits, including action shots from an epic Governer's Island cook-off and Mario Batali–inspired grilled corn.

NATURE ON SCREEN: One of the nicest moments of a go-go-go, typically hectic film festival, is landing, quite suddenly, in a theater that's about to show a film set in the outdoors. A calming sense of relief settles around you, in your seat, and you can almost believe you smell wafts of pine over the lingering eau du popcorn in the air. Why is this? That a nature doc or feature can be medicinal, even if you've been enjoying the larger film festival and all of its kaleidoscopic offerings? Our theory, and it is probably one of the easiest, least controversial theories you'll come across this year, is this: Film festivals ask that people be indoors, over and over and over. You're with a lot of people, frequently in tight rows, and that can go on for days, if you're fully committed to the entire enterprise. Thus a work set on a cliff or beach really does feel extra escapist, full of wind, and joyful. But what of the film festivals that embrace that spirit with each movie shown? The Wild & Scenic Festival in Nevada City walks that route, as does the Range of Light Film Festival, which will unspool over the very end of February 2014 into the start of March. And as for the location?
THE YOSEMITE VALLEY VISITOR CENTER: Need we say more? Yes, we need, but of course this festival will be about meadows and mountains and adventure and big ideas. The 2014 offerings are pretty winsome, from "Love in the Tetons" -- great name -- to "The Sufferfest" which details the lure of 14,000-foot peaks. Not all of the films are new, but they're all themed to outdoorsian pursuits, in general. Oh, and the larger theme of the 2014 festival? There is one: 150 Years of Yosemite. Jelly Bread, the fest's "favorite soul and funk collective" will play, and there shall be panels, too. Oh, yeah, and El Capitan, and Glacier Point, and the river, and the meadows, and the Big Trees, practically a toot and a whistle outside the door. How many fests can claim that? Let's just call Range of Light the uncrampiest, wide-space-iest movie gathering in all the West. It has to be, with Yosemite just outside the screening room.

Power Charging For the Frequent Traveler: Aviiq Portable Charger
If you're constantly on the road — whether for business or pleasure — you know how annoying it can be to try to find enough outlets to charge all your gadgets in a hotel room. A traveler's worst nightmare? Forgetting your phone that's charging on the hotel nightstand. Thankfully, there's the Aviiq Portable Charging Station ($80) to keep all your gadgets charged in one place.
The über-packable and portable Aviiq can charge four gadgets at once, comes with a retractible USB cable, and take up only one outlet thanks to its multitasking port, which conveniently zips up to fit in your carry-on. Plus, you can store all your charging cables inside the Aviiq, so you won't need to mess with a rats' nest of cables once you reach your destination. Sure, it's kinda pricey at $80, but that's the price you pay for convenience. Check out more images of the Aviiq Portable Charger in the gallery.
